Novell has pulled the plug on BrainShare – for 20 years its trademark user conference – which was scheduled for March in Salt Lake City.

Novell chief marketing officer John Dragoon says on the company’s web site that people wouldn’t commit to coming because of cost restraints.

He intends to substitute “online classes, virtual conferences and local tours.”
